Collection contains records created by the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) participants in the Wisconsin Native American Languages Project
(WNALP), an effort to teach Native-American children and adults the native languages and
traditions of the Menominee, Ojibwe, Oneida, Potawatomi, and Ho-Chunk. The collection
includes audio recordings, alphabet and syllable books, handouts, self-tests, songs,
stories, student cards, and writing and reading lessons, and worksheets. For each language,
there are lexicons or vocabularies. The vocabularies are presented in a bi-lingual format on
note cards. The largest group of materials can be found for the Menominee and Ojibwe
languages. The Menominee and Ho-Chunk records include the notebooks of Ken Miner, a
Menominee linguistic specialist hired by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as part of a
sub-contract made with the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council. The Menominee records include a
complete copy of Leonard Bloomfield's lexicon, as well indexes to his work.
The
collection contains audio recordings created as part of the project. Most of the tapes are
recordings of Menominee, Ojibwe, Oneida, and Ho-Chunk words and phrases. Some tapes include
complete stories or conversations of the speakers. English translations are provided on
many, but not all, of the tapes.
English, Ojibwe, Menominee, Oneida, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk
